Abstract

The inverse kinematic solutions for redundant manipulators using the optimality augmented resolution schemes have been used without investigating the characteristics of the optimal solutions. The questions with this kind of resolution methods are answered in this paper, that is (i) the characteristics of solutions, (ii) of algorithmic singularities, (iii) their dimensionality, and (iv) the invariance of the characteristics during resolutions. 3-DOF planar redundant robot is analyzed when the inverse kinematic method is applied with the manipulability as an example.
